In your log excerpt I've seen '/home/flindner/…', so I thought there
could be the user flindner.

That could cause several problems. For example that problem you've
reported. The simplest solution would be setting
"mail_location=~maildir:~/Maildir" in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf.
With this configuration Dovecot will use
/home/flindner/Mail/spam/Maildir as mail location for user s...@xgm.de.

When using Sieve it's also strongly recommended to have $home != $mail.
With the settings from above you could use 'default' settings for Sieve,
e.g.:
# 15-lda.conf
protocol lda {
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve
}
# 20-lmtp.conf
protocol lmtp {
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve
}
# 90-sieve.conf
plugin {
recipient_delimiter = +
sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
sieve_dir = ~/sieve
}
Then the file /home/flindner/Mail/spam/.dovecot.sieve would contain the
Sieve rules for user s...@xgm.de.
